This video was recorded in the 80s at "Musikantenstadl" ("musicians' hayrick") which is an Austrian folk music-tv-show that is still on broadcast to this day. The title is "Das Kreuz der blauen Berge" (which is probably translated best with "Summit Cross") and is about wayfaring men. I used to love this song when I was a child, singing it from the top of my lungs on hiking-days with my parents - then, at home in Austria. Thanks for bringing back so many lovely memories
Hi Rhett & Link! From my point of view (which is southern, almost-alpine germany in fact! :D) it's simply hilarious watching you guys go totally crazy about this. In the german-speaking part of Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), yodeling, Lederhosen and "paint brush hats", how you call them, is more traditional art or celebration than popular music and it's mostly the grandpa genereation watching shows like Franzl. The fact that you are so amazed about it made this video funny times thousand for me. :D Relating to your excitement about the set of the music video - there are many holiday houses in the southern part of germany and in switzerland which still look like this. We call it "Ferien auf dem Bauernhof" (= Farm Holidays or sth. like this) and it's really affordable. So in fact you really COULD grab your families, jump on a plane and go there. Thanks for the awesome video! Oh, and... you can take yodeling lessons over here. Not kidding. ;-)
I met Franzl, and he was very nice. Super nice, in fact. He gave me a CD and multiple autographs. Don’t ever disrespect this man. He was a man of class and the greatest yodeler of all time.
Link: "We're gonna watch more of these-" Me: "Oooooh yeah!" Link: "-On our own time. You can check more of these on your own time!" Me: "Nahhhhhh. Too much work."
You may rest assured that he isn't the most famous guy in Germany, Rhett :'D Germany is pretty much Americanized if it's about something being popular.
I heard it as just Rhett being sensationalist, lol. He always gets so excited about things. If the yodeling guy is the coolest person in the world, surely he's the most popular guy in Germany, no? XP
You guys haven't even heard "Mei Vater is an Appenzeller". In my opinion, that's truly Franzl Lang's best song and even though I don't actually like this particular type of music, I think that tune's sort of catchy. And I must admit, I love hearing this very thick American accent when Link tries to say "Einen Jodler hör' i gern". As someone being fluent in German, it makes me smile.
Am I the only one who has seen the last video, that we only heard, prior to this morning? Haha a month and a half ago I watched it! It really brightens your day, haha.
My friends would be angry with you if they knew you introduced me to Franzl. I can't stop watching him. He's just so incredible. Also, there are quite a few videos of him yodeling live with an obvious microphone and it's twice as impressive.
"einen jodler hör i gern" is by far my favorite franzl lang song on youtube. there's a wide world of yodelin' out there and i'm really excited that you've stumbled into it.
ha i love this! I wish everyone could see his magical yodeling talents! The set is real, my grandparents(in germany) love him, they watch shows like this all the time
This is so awesome to watch when you're German :D Irgendwie aber auch beunruhigend, wenn die meinen es müsse der beliebteste Mensch in Deutschland sein ^^ das ist schon The Hoff :P
Love the meta watching two guys in a video watching a video I cannot see, WHILST the big American guy with Porter Wagoner hair is commenting on an Austrian Grand Ol Opry show. The levels made my brain happy. Also, tee shirt: He Walks Through Dinner Parties, Yodeling
Almost nothing on German TV back then was live. Iron Maiden once made great fun of it. Look for "Iron Maiden - Wasted Years - P.I.T. - Peter Illmanns Treff - 1986" on UA-cam.
Haha, so they really do read the comments and knew we've been looking forward to the t-rex hug forever! I was sure there was some kind of conspiracy since the wheel always seemed to land on the wedge next to it! :p
.....I would've probably never been on this earth if it wasn't for Franzl Lang I was in a deep depressed place in my mind and at some point ending it seemed like the only option
someone told me once that you guys werent really best friends... t-rex hugging... sorta proves that you guys are the ultimate bromance... j.d and turk have nothing on you...
Lol! I'm really enjoying it hearing you two speaking (or at least trying to speak) German - as I'm from Austria! :-D Very entertaining episode - and I also was very happy about the wheel ending ^_^
We should make this like a thing, recording ourselves watching this on UA-cam and then uploading the video on UA-cam and just have a huge chain of people watching people watching people watching the videos etc. lol
The video they watch at the end--that's been a favorite amongst a few of my family members and myself for a couple of years now. The whole time thru this GMM I was wondering if they would feature it. :)
Jp3game Meh.. it's okay as long as they keep it.. clean. Kind of hard to do with Tentacle monsters though. Rhett is a giant squid and attacks Fisherman Link. Lol
rhet! i ttotally agree with you! I became obsessed with this man last semester listened to his vids on repeat for hours! ill go to the concert with you
I love it, when my favorite UA-cam show is talking about a music video from my home country! Yes, that's Germany (Ja, das ist Deutschland). Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. Keep on doing great shows. Thank you R&L
RIP Franzl Lang, passed away earlier this month, you will be missed ;-;
:C :( Franzl will forever be remembered as a great contributed to yodelling, & as a unwitting contributed to GMM lore.
+Han Zhang Rest In Peace, Franzl Lang.
RIP Franzl Lang :(
Rhett's so impressed, it's amusing.
I'm surprised there might be people that aren't impressed by that. Franzl lang has talent

A beautiful country, isn't it?
Absolutely, it's my native country - I was born there and lived there for many years.
Is it like Hee Haw, an American music/comedy show from the 70s-90s?
"I wanna live on that set with that man". Rhett's got his priorities right.
oh man, this video is spectacular is so many ways. RIP
Hi Rhett & Link! From my point of view (which is southern, almost-alpine germany in fact! :D) it's simply hilarious watching you guys go totally crazy about this.

YAY. I love showing people Franzl Lang. Such a gem. How can you not smile when listening to him?! It's impossible.
He is actually dead.
R.I.P. Franzl Lang December 2015
Franzl Lang has passed away on Dec. 6 2015. RIP Franzl Lang
LoL, I would love to just hang out and watch UA-cam videos for a day with Rhett and Link.
I think we would all lol
That would be the best day ever. Seriously.
Yes. Yes it would be. :)
I'm looking forward to '1997' on the wheel.
Mostly because it just says '1997' and I wanna see what they come up with!
I know right
I was just thinking the same thing 😂 plus it's the year I was born 😂😂
I hope they sing fly by sugar ray, just busting out in song xD
Or .... "Lbbl" . ...Depends which way you are looking at it!
I gotta say. the title of this video is just amazing.
Listening to Rhett and links commentary on a music video is hilarious
This man is a legend like I have idolized him since childhood Franz lang was insane
I met Franzl, and he was very nice. Super nice, in fact. He gave me a CD and multiple autographs. Don’t ever disrespect this man. He was a man of class and the greatest yodeler of all time.
Oh my god thats so Crazy 🤯
You met THEEEEE FRANZL LANG? when did you meet him?
Love that guy! love yodeling and he is the best yodeler! RIP Franzl, and no he wasn't a jerk
XD The way Link pronounced "Einen Jodler hör i gern" was hilarious!!!
Link: "We're gonna watch more of these-"
Me: "Oooooh yeah!"
Link: "-On our own time. You can check more of these on your own time!"
Me: "Nahhhhhh. Too much work."
How could I not be happified by what just happened!
I think the people were behind the horses to make sure they didn't wander outside of the fence.
Guten Mittag aus Deutschland. Aber ohne Jodeln.
Gutenmorgen ein russland🇷🇺🇩🇪
You may rest assured that he isn't the most famous guy in Germany, Rhett :'D
Germany is pretty much Americanized if it's about something being popular.
No we all wear lederhosen and we only listen to yodeling XD
It was a joke :D Im from germany and im just joking :*
***** says Walter White :P
I thought yodeling was swedish....
I heard it as just Rhett being sensationalist, lol. He always gets so excited about things. If the yodeling guy is the coolest person in the world, surely he's the most popular guy in Germany, no? XP
When I try to yodel, I sound like a screaming goat.
Yeah i just watched two grown men watch yodelling videos for 10 minutes...
You guys haven't even heard "Mei Vater is an Appenzeller". In my opinion, that's truly Franzl Lang's best song and even though I don't actually like this particular type of music, I think that tune's sort of catchy. And I must admit, I love hearing this very thick American accent when Link tries to say "Einen Jodler hör' i gern". As someone being fluent in German, it makes me smile.
I wish I was fluent in German. It would be interesting to me to hear what an American accent sounds like, although I think I have a pretty good idea.
Am I the only one who has seen the last video, that we only heard, prior to this morning? Haha a month and a half ago I watched it! It really brightens your day, haha.
The only time I see them in the morning is when I've been up all night. Good work'
When he first said "zinging hodies" I literally spit out the milk I was drinking and couldn't stop laughing.
i could watch them just sitting around talking about videos forever
My friends would be angry with you if they knew you introduced me to Franzl. I can't stop watching him. He's just so incredible. Also, there are quite a few videos of him yodeling live with an obvious microphone and it's twice as impressive.
Zinging Hodies.
This needs to be a radio station
2 baseball players on the moon : please have that on the wheel of mythicality
Sounds good to me lol. That'd be funny.
I could watch them watch yodeling videos all day. Yodeling commentators=back up win.
"einen jodler hör i gern" is by far my favorite franzl lang song on youtube. there's a wide world of yodelin' out there and i'm really excited that you've stumbled into it.
I thought it was only me who was wanting the 2 T-Rex's! Even Link was excited when it landed on that!
I love how he has a vevo channel aha x
ha i love this! I wish everyone could see his magical yodeling talents! The set is real, my grandparents(in germany) love him, they watch shows like this all the time
Franzl's show has a very Lawrence Welk vibe.
This is so awesome to watch when you're German :D
Irgendwie aber auch beunruhigend, wenn die meinen es müsse der beliebteste Mensch in Deutschland sein ^^ das ist schon The Hoff :P
"Burping from your lungs is called breathing." -Link
I discovered Franzi about two years ago on youtube. I've been in love with yodeling ever since!
omg im so happy they got on that :) i have been waiting.. btw that was mine :)!!!!!
You look really happy!
Awesome suggestion! A lot of us have been waiting for the T-Rexes, including Link apparently. :D
Let's get some support for indiemaus to animate it!
I am Bennu! So are You!
Yes! I also want to see it animated by indeimaus
YES!!!! indeimaus , you need to do this one!
They call Franzl Lang the Jodelkonig "yodel king"
Love the meta watching two guys in a video watching a video I cannot see, WHILST the big American guy with Porter Wagoner hair is commenting on an Austrian Grand Ol Opry show. The levels made my brain happy.
Also, tee shirt: He Walks Through Dinner Parties, Yodeling
I swear if we looked at Good mythical more before the actual main episode, this would be sooo weird lol
Almost nothing on German TV back then was live. Iron Maiden once made great fun of it. Look for "Iron Maiden - Wasted Years - P.I.T. - Peter Illmanns Treff - 1986" on UA-cam.
Haha, so they really do read the comments and knew we've been looking forward to the t-rex hug forever! I was sure there was some kind of conspiracy since the wheel always seemed to land on the wedge next to it! :p
I've always loved yodeling! It always gives off a happy vibe.
Also, I'm looking forward for the 1997 wheel ending. :D
Ruhe in frieden, Jodeln König.
Am I the only one who thinks "zinging hodies" sounds like something dirty and or illegal? XD Their commentary is wonderful.
That video was recorded in 1976
Should've been two t-Rex's playing patty cake
I will always love Rhett's clap.
It's yodel time
.....I would've probably never been on this earth if it wasn't for Franzl Lang
I was in a deep depressed place in my mind and at some point ending it seemed like the only option
i wanna see a "freaky friday" on the wheel of mythicality, as in rhett becomes link and link becomes rhett.
Wheel idea : Rhett is recruited by the Illuminati.
yodeling is awesome. i wish i could do it like that guy
This episode was almost like watching a short Mystery Science Theater 3000 but better
the video wasnt made two years ago if franzl is more than 80 years old
someone told me once that you guys werent really best friends... t-rex hugging... sorta proves that you guys are the ultimate bromance... j.d and turk have nothing on you...
5:38 Truer words have never been spoken.
Lol! I'm really enjoying it hearing you two speaking (or at least trying to speak) German - as I'm from Austria! :-D
Very entertaining episode - and I also was very happy about the wheel ending ^_^
"Burping from your lungs is called breathing." Put THAT on a t-shirt.
you know you have skill when you can yodel without losing breath or struggling.
I agree with Rhett. Yodeling is surprisingly pleasing to my ear.
At the end of the main episode, when Rhett says two t-Rex's trying to hug he sounds like the suffer dood from spongebob! Lol
They are totally mesmerized.
Finally!!!! Two 2-Rex's
My life is complete...T Rex hugging and 2 old ladies the same week.
LMAO I cackled so hard when Link said buttholes.
Da heck is a cackle
Jacob Murr the cry of a hen or goose when laying an egg :D
Rhett falls in love with Links glasses for an ending =)
2 T-rex trying to hug wouldst fit on screen guys. It was appropriate. Can't wait for the next season, keep up the good work!
Am I really sitting here watching two guys on UA-cam watching some guy on UA-cam?
We should make this like a thing, recording ourselves watching this on UA-cam and then uploading the video on UA-cam and just have a huge chain of people watching people watching people watching the videos etc. lol
YODELOLELDIEOLEIEIDIIIEII ................. **dies**
Haha, Like a Target you never want to leave...
rhett and link: i love this guy
-1 minute later-
rhett and link: he's a jerk
The next GMM should start with them still watching these videos
So, the other day, I'm cruising down the freeway, zingin' ho-dee.......
The video they watch at the end--that's been a favorite amongst a few of my family members and myself for a couple of years now. The whole time thru this GMM I was wondering if they would feature it. :)
Digging the shirts today guys:)
Right!?
its like they switched shirts
Jason Tng that's what I was thinking!
"burping from your lungs is called breathing"
:P
yes!!! ^
This was the best. Laughed so many times.
The two very suspicious men hiding behind the horses are hilarious!
1997!
I want to see, "Link thinks Rhett is a juke box"
That'll be funny to watch
Link gets attacked by a Tentacle monter
suggestion for the wheel
Jack Theluth no
:P
Jp3game
Meh.. it's okay as long as they keep it.. clean. Kind of hard to do with Tentacle monsters though. Rhett is a giant squid and attacks Fisherman Link. Lol
yep
rhet! i ttotally agree with you! I became obsessed with this man last semester listened to his vids on repeat for hours! ill go to the concert with you
I love it, when my favorite UA-cam show is talking about a music video from my home country! Yes, that's Germany (Ja, das ist Deutschland). Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. Keep on doing great shows. Thank you R&L
Man, this was uploaded on my birthday, July 2nd! Can't wait for today it's going to be awesome!!!
Happy Birthday Man :)
Its my dad's birthday too
Happy birthday to your dad, too! :)
It would be so cool if you brought back the special spots on the wheel:D!
Why don't Rhett & Link sell a "zinging hodies" shirt or hoodie at the store? That's like printing money, guys!!!
I'm doing this because they haven't.
RIP Franzl Lang 😭😭😭
the love for Link is real
I know how to yodel and my tooth is not even crooked
Just cuz u know how doesn't mean ur good at it
Hahah
bugs me they kept saying he's lip syncing when the dubbing is just off
As far as the wheel goes, I'm looking forward to Link Gives Rhett an Imaginary Pet. xD
Thats the set from a kids show!!!! i used to watch it way back in the early 90s when i was a wee one!!
I say again hes not lip syncing
